When creating software, what do you use to design, document and visualize. Looking for evidence/examples.

e.g. Use cases, Pseudo code, Gantt chats, PERT charts, DFD, decision trees, decision tables (Answers maybe used to help teach students)

What do you use to help with creating software. Also why; when has it proved valuable?

--- Edit --

Proved valuable: The pattern so far suggests that the style of UML tool used is linked to an objective. e.g. "get it straight in MY head", explain to business mangers, quality control.
